In the two major art colleges of China Opera and Nortel, there have been many phenomenal star classes, such as Nortel 96 and China Opera 96. The students who graduated from here are not only still active in the entertainment industry, but also Many have become representatives of Mesozoic actors.
such as Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun , such as Yuan Quan , Zhang Ziyi , Qin Hailu and so on.
The "Five Golden Flowers" in the Chinese opera we are going to talk about today are the earliest "Golden Flowers" in the history of the Chinese opera. They are the top actresses Gong Li, Shi Ke, Wu Yujuan, Jin Lili, Zhang Wei.
These beautiful actors were household names in the 1990s, but unfortunately, except for Shi Ke, all four of hers have slowly retired.
1. Gong Li (born in 1965, 56 years old this year)
Chinese opera TOP1 shadow queen
In 1965, Gong Li was born in Shenyang, Liaoning, with 5 children in his family. The smallest. When Gong Li was one year old, the family moved back to Jinan because of his father's work.
Gong Li's dream since childhood was to be a singer. When the melodrama came out on the radio, Gong Li thought it was the best voice in the world.
second grade primary school,Gong Li entered the Jinan People’s Broadcasting Station to sing nursery rhymes. Her voice, like those singers, spread to thousands of households.
During the college entrance examination, Gong Li lost her name to Sun Shan twice. She had no choice but to find employment temporarily. She became a temporary worker, but she did not give up her dream of going to university.
In 1985, Gong Li and Jin Lili were exceptionally admitted by the Chinese Opera and became a student of the Chinese Opera.
In his sophomore year, director Zhang Yimou went to the middle of the play to cast the role of "Red Sorghum". The wildness and tenacity in Gong Li's eyes moved Zhang Yimou.
After the release of "Red Sorghum", Gong Li became popular, but on the campus of Zhongxi Opera, Gong Li is still the one who likes to call female classmates "big wife, little wife", and there is nothing special.
There is a saying in the show business circle: drama actors look down on movies, and movie actors look down on TV.
Chinese opera is the cradle of Chinese drama actors. All the students are proud of acting in dramas and are not cold about movies. Even if " red sorghum " is awarded abroad, it is no exception.
But this drama laid the foundation for the development of Gong Li and Zhang Yimou.
Following "Red Sorghum", Gong Li and Zhang Yimou have collaborated in " chrysanthemum", " the red lanterns high ", " alive", "shake and shake, shake to grandma bridge", etc. movie. Almost every one brought a lot of honor to Gong Li.
and "Farewell My Concubine" with Chen Kaige , and " Tang Bohu Point Qiuxiang " with Chow Xingchi, promote Gong Li to the international stage.
At the time, the students didn’t think Gong Li was special.Has become one of the most successful actresses in Chinese opera.
At the same time, Gong Li's body is also full of controversy. Her love affair with Zhang Yimou made her a target for everyone.
In 1988, after "Red Sorghum" won a prize abroad, Zhang Yimou filed a divorce with his wife Xiao Hua.
In 1989, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou's love affair was exposed. The two ran to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight, and took over the filming of " Ancient and Modern Wars of Qin Warriors ". In the film, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou played A love of three lives and three generations.
After Xiao Hua and Zhang Yimou divorced, they later published a book "The Past You You", which mentioned Gong Li's love letter to Zhang Yimou.
The first sentence at the beginning of the letter: "You are gone, take my heart away." Then he wrote, "My eyes still hurt", "Xiao Yang hit me at school.
After that, the campus is now discussing this matter. Everyone guesses that someone outside of me, and some people guessed about you.
I heard that the department is looking for me to talk to. I am ready. When they come to me, I Just tell them clearly. They can understand better, and I don’t care if they don’t understand. I think that as long as you make things clear, no one will dare to touch me..."
"I think people have to live comfortably , To bravely pursue happiness, love, you deserve happiness and love... I want to get married, I hope to get an answer, I hope God will give me happiness..."
"When we are together, you are here The look in my arms is so cute! In a few days we can be together again, we have endless things together, haha, do you know what we can’t finish? "...
Gong Li treats love, and she is desperate when she sees it, just like her character.
is just this relationship,Not only Xiao Hua, but also Zhang Yimou's daughter Zhang Mo was injured. Zhang Mo once said in an interview that because of Gong Li, her childhood had been more vicissitudes of life.
Couples who are together after all difficulties, who would have thought that one day they will part ways.
In 1995, Zhang Yimou filmed "Shake and Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge", and the protagonist is still Gong Li.
However, Gong Li at this time is not like the little girl when she just graduated. The two have been in love for so long, and she wants to get married.
She called her second brother to the set and accompany her to have a serious talk with Zhang Yimou.
Prior to this, Gong Li had reminded Zhang Yimou out and secretly that she wanted to get married, but Zhang Yimou never picked up the problem, and she was also helpless.
This time I called my mother's family to talk to Zhang Yimou, with a sense of tragic and determination to break the boat.
Zhang Yimou seemed to be in a hurry, and blurted out: No consideration.
finally comforted Gong Li:
Isn’t marriage just a piece of paper? Why do you have to value this paper?
After filming the show, Gong Li resolutely left.
Many years later, Gong Li also agreed with Zhang Yimou's view. If time goes back 20 years, will she not break up with Zhang Yimou?
In 2006, " full of golden armor " linked the two together again, and everyone was speculating whether this pair of old lovers was going to reconcile, but it was just a guess.
At this time, Gong Li has just divorced from a Hong Kong businessman, and Zhang Yimou has married Chen Ting who is 31 years younger than him.
After Gong Li, "scheming girls" emerged one after another,Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ni , Liu Haocun , etc. In Zhang Yimou's world, Gong Li has long been a thing of the past.
Over the years, Gong Li has been living abroad and has a rich emotional experience. In 2019, 54-year-old Gong Li married 72-year-old French musician Michel, and the two settled in Paris, France.
2. Shi Ke (born in 1964, 57 years old this year)
Give up Wuhan Conservatory of Music _span8_span1 _strongp In an ordinary family in Zhijiang, Hubei, above her, there is an older sister.
Shi Ke was 21 years old when she was admitted to the Chinese opera. Among the five golden flowers, she was the oldest.
In fact, Shi Ke's dream when he was a child, like Gong Li, wanted to be a singer.
When graduating from high school, Shi Ke applied for the Wuhan Conservatory of Music.
I have enjoyed the warmth of family since I was a child. The idea is very simple. I am closer to home and I can come back often.
But Wuhan Conservatory of Music is not so good either, Shi Ke failed the exam for two consecutive years.
In the third year, Shi Ke wants to continue to apply for the exam. The family advises her that if she really fails to pass the exam, she should change to another school.
Shi Ke does not believe in evil, and continues to apply for this school.
This year, Shi Ke was admitted, but she refused to go. Instead, she went to the Central Academy of Drama by accident.
In sophomore year, the crew of "Red Sorghum" found Shi Ke, because Shi Ke's image is more in line with the image of " 九儿" in the novel of Mo Yan .
But in the end, Zhang Yimou chose Gong Li.
was replaced by Gong Li, but Shi Ke didn't feel it a pity, because soon another crew from "Hillman" found Shi Ke and made him star in the film's heroine Meiyu.
We all know the situation behind, "Red Sorghum" made Gong Li a hit, but "Killing Love" did not cause any waves.
Shi is not a Chinese beauty in the traditional sense. She looks a bit like a foreigner. Some people call her "Chinese Sophia Loren ".
This "foreign" appearance makes Shi Ke stand out among many beautiful actresses. In those days, foreign looks were easy to remember.
Shi Ke is known by the audience because of the TV series " ". In the play, Shi Ke plays a hot girl with Wang Zhiwen (dialect) Han Liting. Not only changed the way to speak well, but also took the initiative to live in other people's homes.
It is a pity that the concubine has no intention of love, Han Liting finally lost to Du Min ( Jiang Shan decoration).
Although history is not the protagonist in the play, the high ratings of this play have given her a certain reputation in the entertainment industry.
At the same time, Wu Yujuan in the same dormitory has become the dream lover of many young people with "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", and Gong Li has become a frequent visitor to major film festivals. Shi Ke is a little anxious.
At that time, the mainland music scene was in a period of rapid development. Many singers can become popular when they cover a song by others. Shi Ke, who was originally interested in music, seems to have seen other than actors. Another way.
After being introduced, Shi Ke met the musician Huang Xiaomao .
Huang Xiaomao is known as "the pioneer, practitioner and leader of Chinese pop music ". The campus songs "You at the Same Table", "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", etc., are all written by Huang Xiaomao.
Shi Ke's album hasn't been released yet, and the love affair with Huang Xiaomao came out first.
The two soon became husband and wife from lovers. It's just that this marriage did not last into the new century.
In 1999, the two divorced.
The reason for the divorce, there is still no exact statement. But both men and women value careers, and the lack of maintenance of the family is true.
At that time, Shi Ke's acting career was stagnated for two years because of the drama "I'm divorced, don't come to me again" . When a new opportunity was presented, Shi Ke desperately gave up the child for his career (suspected that he was pregnant and didn't want it).
Shi Ke after the divorce, when he went to the Mediterranean to relax, he unexpectedly met the foreign husband Lao Ke.
In 2007, Shi Ke took the risk of an elderly mother and gave birth to a second child. The couple often appear on the show, and the days after marriage are very happy to tolerate each other.
In 2001, Huang Xiaomao introduced and met Li Jing by singer Liu Jie. At that time, Li Jing's career was in full swing, and Huang Xiaomao was also the "master" of Warner Records . This pair of young talents quickly entered into marriage.
The two married and had children in one breath, and completed two major life events in one year.
Today, Shi Ke and his foreign husband have been married for 20 years. From the words of Shi Ke, you can still see the strong love between husband and wife.
2021,The king and queen in the TV series " Shangyang Fu " attracted the attention of the audience. The actor of the Queen and Queen is Shi Ke. Over the years, Shi Ke is the only actress in "Five Golden Flowers" who is still active on the screen.
3. Wu Yujuan (born in 1965, 56 years old this year)
Speaking of Wu Yujuan, one always thinks of another person, that is the talented actor 8span.
In 1965, Wu Yujuan was born in a rural family in Leiyang , Hunan. At the age of 16, Wu Yujuan was admitted to the local flower drum opera troupe.
Not long after Wu Yujuan came to power, the Leiyang Huagu Drama Troupe went bankrupt.
Wu Yujuan has fair skin and tall figure, which is especially dazzling in the crowd.
After the troupe went bankrupt, Wu Yujuan originally planned to go to a factory to report. The former leader suggested that she go to college and wrote her a letter of introduction.
In this way, rural girl Wu Yujuan came to the Chinese opera.
Wu Yujuan's beauty quickly attracted many boys, and Jia Hongsheng was one of them. Soon, Jia Hongsheng captured Wu Yujuan's heart, and the two became a pair.
Jia Hongsheng is active in thinking and very talented, which makes him keep making appointments when he is still in school.
Wu Yujuan was not to be outdone. When Gong Li starred in "Red Sorghum" and Shi Ke took over "Killing Love", Wu Yujuan also received the invitation of director Zhou Xiaowen.
": the price of madness " is a crime movie, which also contains many large-scale dramas. Wu Yujuan was hesitant at first,But her boyfriend Jia Hongsheng supported her.
Wu Yujuan went all out and boldly took over the film. With this film, she won the popular film Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress nominations.
Getting such a big affirmation from the first electric shock gave Wu Yujuan a lot of confidence.
In 1991, the role of "Yuan Ziyi" in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" made Wu Yujuan a dream lover of many people, and she began to gain a certain degree of popularity in the entertainment industry.
But at this moment, the mood of her boyfriend Jia Hongsheng began to be unstable, because of a drama, Jia Hongsheng was poisoned.
Wu Yujuan, who has already met his parents, gave up her acting career and began to take care of her boyfriend wholeheartedly, hoping to help him out of suffering.
But Wu Yujuan overestimated her strength and underestimated the harm of poison.
Accompanied Jia Hongsheng for four years, but she couldn't see any hope for a long time. Wu Yujuan retreated and she chose to let it go.
In 1996, Wu Yujuan met Chinese-American professor Li Muhua. The two entered the marriage and had a son. However, this marriage came to an end in the process of gathering less and more and more distrust.
Wu Yujuan made a drama at that time, and lost several million, but Li Muhua chose to stand by. After this incident, the two chose to divorce, and the son "Ma Xiang" was raised by Wu Yujuan alone.
In 2007, pictures of Wu Yujuan and her son appeared on the Internet. Many people thought this was Jia Hongsheng’s son, but they weren’t.
In 2010, Jia Hongsheng jumped down from the 9th floor, and the myth that belonged to him was over. And Wu Yujuan is still working hard for her son and her own life.
In 2021, in the TV series "Shangyang Fu", Wu Yujuan played a small role of Aunt Xu. Many netizens said that this role is a friendly role, but it is still pleasant to see Wu Yujuan on the screen again.
these years,Wu Yujuan is still active in the showbiz, but she moved from the front of the stage to behind the scenes.
4. Chen Wei (born in 1965, 56 years old this year)
Speaking of Chen Wei now, it is estimated that few people remember. But speaking of her husband Zhang Guangbei , everyone must know him.
Chen Wei is the one with a low sense of existence among the "Five Golden Flowers".
In 1964, Chen Wei was born in an ordinary family in southern Jiangsu and studied at Nanjing Xiaohonghua Art Troupe since he was a child.
After graduating from junior high school, Chen Wei was admitted to Nanjing Institute of Physical Education to learn badminton.
After four years of badminton learning, Chen Wei found it difficult to become a professional athlete and achieve results.
So, she began to take the art colleges, because art colleges did not have that high requirement for cultural courses.
In this way, Chen Wei became a member of the 85-level Chinese Opera Acting Class.
Chen Wei did not expect that as soon as he entered the middle stage, he was "stared".
This person is the chairman of the Chinese Opera Student Union, Zhang Guangbei.
Zhang Guangbei was born in 1959. When Chen Wei entered school, he was already a junior.
is both the senior and the chairman of the student union. Zhang Guangbei noticed Chen Wei at a freshman training meeting. After
, I looked for opportunities to contact Chen Wei. The pure Chen Wei didn't notice that the seniors had "different intentions" at the beginning. I just feel that this senior has taken care of himself a little bit beyond the norm.
In 1989, Chen Wei and Zhang Guangbei co-starred in the martial arts movie " blue shirt female bandit ",In the play, the two play a role as a couple.
Faced with this golden opportunity, how could Zhang Guangbei give up? He greeted the director in advance and put more water in the kiss scene.
Once when filming a kiss scene, the director kept calling to stop. Chen Wei secretly looked to the side, only to find that the director's camera was gone, and only Zhang Guangbei and her were left on the scene.
After the movie, the relationship between the two was officially determined. Soon, Zhang Guangbei, who was nearly 30 years old, proposed to Chen Wei.
After marriage, Chen Wei did not give up his career, and successively worked in "Living with You" " 7span The Marriage in the Traps of Span_span_span_span8 Acting as the heroine in "Span8span".
Unfortunately, these dramas were not popular. At that time, Zhang Guangbei played many classic roles, such as and Lu Bu in "Three Kingdoms", but in the film and television industry, he was still not popular.
In 2006, the TV series "Bright Sword" received strong attention from the audience. In the play, the part of and Chu Yunfei made the audience's feelings complicated. And such a three-dimensional role is played by Zhang Guangbei.
Zhang Guangbei is red, and everyone discovered that the woman standing behind Zhang Guangbei is Chen Wei, one of the "Five Golden Flowers" in the Chinese drama.
Zhang Guangbei is on fire, and Chen Wei is willing to be a good internal helper and take care of the whole family's life.
The two have been married for more than 30 years, but their relationship is still rock solid, which makes many insiders envy.
5. Jin Lili (born in 1965 and 56 years old this year)
is a Chinese drama,Rejecting the role of Jia Yingchun in the half-played "Dream of Red Mansions"
In the "Five Golden Flowers" in the middle play, Jin Lili was later recruited.
Jin Lili was born in a rural family on the outskirts of Hangzhou in 1965. Her mother was the captain of the commune’s cultural and artistic propaganda team.
Under the influence of her mother, Jin Lili has been able to sing and dance since she was a child, and has a lively and cheerful personality.
The adults in the commune are very fond of Jin Lili and often tease her: Lily, sing us a song.
Jin Lili is not timid, so she sings openly.
After graduating from high school, Jin Lili became a telephone operator in the commune.
Since ancient times, there have been beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River. Jin Lili has been beautiful since she was a child. Once the commune came to the staff of two telecom bureaus to repair the telephone line. They praised Jin Lili for being "beautiful as a fairy". From then on, "a flower in the commune" has become a Synonymous with Jin Lili.
In 1983, the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" began to be auditioned nationwide. The director Wang Fulin emphasized that you should not be familiar with faces, just make faces.
We later learned that the actors in the "Jinling Twelve Hairpins" in "A Dream of Red Mansions" are all beautiful and recognizable. Many of them were personally selected by Director Wang.
Jin Lili's mother also got news of the audition from a friend. But they are rural households, Jin Lili's mother has no idea, and I don't know if the crew has any requirements for household registration.
Friends encouraged Jin Lili to give it a try.
It happened that Director Wang Fulin went to Hangzhou to select the scene. With the help of her mother and friend, Jin Lili met with Director Wang.
Jin Lili has no professional training. In front of Director Wang, her talent performance is not enough. But Director Wang was moved by the youthfulness of her body, and on the spot agreed to Jin Lili's entry into the group. After
, Jin Lili began to enter the crew training,There are hundreds of people in the crew, and only Jin Lili has a rural household registration.
After a few months of training, the actors continued to learn while they started filming, and they became acquainted with each other.
The actor who plays "San Jie You" is called Zhou Yue , and he is an enthusiastic person.
She said to Jin Lili: After the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions", you still go back and forth. The Shanghai Theater Academy is enrolling students. You can try it.
After hearing Zhou Yue's words, Jin Lili decided to give it a try. She took advantage of the filming gap to rush to the film to take the exam. She passed the first and second trials, but was brushed off in the third trial.
When I learned that Jin Lili had failed, everyone felt sorry for her.
But soon there will be another good news. Because the score line is too high, the students are not enrolled yet, so they are making up the enrollment.
Upon hearing this news, Jin Lili asked the crew again and rushed to the middle of the show.
Just like that, Jin Lili was admitted to the Chinese opera, but she was mixed.
Going to school can solve the hukou problem, and there is no need to worry about work after graduation, but at the same time, she has to put off half of the "Jia Yingchun" when she goes to school.
Jin Lili couldn't make up her mind, she reported the matter to director Wang Fulin.
The temporary change of roles of the crew will definitely cause a lot of trouble, but Director Wang is a responsible director. He said:
"The crew of "A Dream of Red Mansions" can't solve your rural account, you go to university , There will be a good future."
Just like that, Jin Lili left the crew and went to school in Beijing.
Jin Lili's departure caused a lot of trouble to the crew.
They had to temporarily find another actor, Mou Yi, who looks more like Jin Lili,In post-production, Jin Lili used Jin Lili's body and Mou Yi's face in the front shot.
After entering the Central Theater, Jin Lili and Wu Yujuan, Shi Ke were divided into a dormitory.
College life has opened up Jin Lili's vision. The few girls in the dormitory have very good relationships. They often meet together to go shopping together, where they can go to the scenery.
After graduating, Jin Lili starred in succession like " Chinese flight attendant", "The Desert Monument", " Bingge Bingmei", " General Zhang Xueliang", " Red Ling" And other film and television dramas, in which "The Desert Monument" won the "Golden Eagle Award" as a supporting actress.
But these dramas, without exception, are not very famous. Like the hit drama "Half-way Couple", Jin Lili is just a supporting role in the drama, not attracting attention, and in many audiences In my mind, Jin Lili's popularity is not high.
At the same time, "Dream of Red Mansions" achieved phenomenal ratings, not to mention that even the actor who only played a small character in the play was sought after by the audience.
This kind of difference makes Jin Lili feel mixed, she has been afraid to watch "Dream of Red Mansions", and she does not know whether she should regret her original choice.
In 2014, Jin Lili took her 7-year-old daughter to the show, and everyone thought of Jin Lili again.
Jin Lili, who has always been unknown in the entertainment industry, married an entrepreneur and gave birth to a daughter when she was 42 years old.
Jin Lili is now in a semi-retired state in the entertainment industry, and she occasionally sees her guest appearances in film and television dramas. Most of the time, she married her husband and children at home.
Looking back now, Jin Lili's original choice was not wrong. The university solved her hukou problem, gave her a broader world, a stable job, and a higher vision.
Of course, if she had finished filming "Dream of Red Mansions", her popularity would definitely be higher than it is now, and she might receive more film and television resources.
But we have also seen that the once smashing "Red Mansions" actors are still active in the show business circle. Not to mention that many of them will be filmed in many film and television dramas in the future. There is no drama or a role that can surpass "A Dream of Red Mansions".
The success of "Dream of Red Mansions" is a miracle, but how many people can continue this miracle?
In 2019, students from Class 85 of the Chinese Opera Acting Group gathered on the Chinese Opera campus to celebrate the 30th anniversary of graduation.
Wu Yujuan, Chen Wei, Jin Lili, Hu Qianqian , Guan Hailong, Tian Youliang , classmates all participated in Zhao Liang. Thirty years have passed, and beauties are still beauties.
Wu Yujuan, Chen Wei, Jin Lili and others, even though they are nearly sixty years old, their temperament is still online.
In a flash, in 2021, they have graduated for 32 years.
32 years have changed their lives and also carried their dreams and hopes. Except for Wu Yujuan, the other half of these "five golden flowers" are accompanied by the other half. They guard their happiness and the audience's love for them.
